This study examines stochastic frontier of catfish aquaculture agribusiness for sustain- able fisheries development. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select 110 catfish farmers in areas with high density catfish farms. Primary data were collected directly from catfish ORCID IDs of the author(s): farmers using structured questionnaire. The analytical tools used were descriptive statistics, net E.A.I. 0000-0002-7633-7289 farm income, stochastic frontier production function (SPF) and t-statistics. The result shows that F.O.A. 0000-0002-9705-4923 most of the catfish farmers were young people within the productive age of 40-49 years. Catfish O.D.O. 0000-0002-9068-9694 farmers had obtained various levels of formal education. Finding shows that feeds cost was the C.U. 0000-0003-4115-368X highest variable cost (72.75%). Feed had a positive and significant relationship (P<0.05) with cat- fish output. Mean technical efficiency is 53.49%. The estimated variance (δ2s=0.2125) is statisti- cally significant (P<0.05), indicating that profit inefficiency is highly significant among catfish farmers. Estimated
